"Evil Katsu started as a pop-up from laid-off industry alums in late 2020 and transitioned into a permanent space in 2021. Its katsu sandos were hailed as "perfect" and "a masterpiece," though its other offerings were no strangers to critical attention either. "We set out to share something we loved with our neighbors, and we're grateful we got to do that with all of you," notes the restaurant's Instagram post announcing the closure."
"When Llama Inn opened, the breadth of Peru's ingredients and influences had "not been especially well displayed in New York," the New York Times' Pete Wells wrote in his two-star review of the restaurant in 2016. Its success spun out into a Peruvian restaurant group with the now-closed Llama San (Peruvian Japanese fine dining) and Llamita (more casual Peruvian), as well as the still-going Nikkei izakaya Papa San in Hudson Yards. Though Llama Inn is saying goodbye to Williamsburg, its London and Madrid locations"
Several New York City restaurants announced imminent closures with final service dates this month. Evil Katsu, a pop-up-turned-permanent from laid-off industry alums (late 2020 → 2021), will close after service on Sunday, December 14; its hefty katsu sandos received critical praise and the restaurant thanked neighbors on Instagram. Llama Inn, a decade-old Williamsburg destination for anticuchos and inventive Peruvian cuisine, will end service Saturday, December 20; its openings were noted for showcasing Peru's ingredients and influences in New York, and the brand maintains locations in London and Madrid. Last-call hours and addresses were provided.
